Challenge	Mondiale VGL, the largest privately-owned international freight forwarding and logistics company in Australasia, was facing a significant challenge in maintaining visibility and control over its vast supply chain.

The traditional method of manually checking ship and container status was not only time-consuming and inconsistent, but also impractical given the volume of cargo the company handles. Furthermore, the company operates in an environment where teams do not have the time for unnecessary phone calls or emails, making it crucial to rely on automated workflows, exception management, and predictive analytics to keep its customers informed.
